Hey PH, Great to be back again & thanks @__tosh for hunting us! When we released Deta Space last year, we learned that people resonated with many ideas, but they wanted it to work with their existing stuff on the web. So we took ideas into Deta Surf, a hybrid between browser, file manager, and AI assistant. It’s designed to put you at the center of everything that’s important to you, so you can get the most out of it. Surf adds a few things on top of normal tabbed browsing. 💾 Personal storage with Stuff You can add almost anything that’s important to you, straight into Surf. A Notion document, Tweet, YouTube video, image or PDF. 🪟 Unlimited Desktops Surf’s core building concept is a “Context”, and every Context has it’s own desktop. Create different desktops for different projects, add your important stuff and link between them. 🦄 Universal Chat Chat with all the stuff you encounter in Surf. Whether a tab, PDF, image, or entire context — Surf augments whatever it is and lets you verify everything with citations. You can read more about it in the Verge here: https://www.theverge.com/2024/12... We’re in alpha, but we’ll be letting a lot of the PH audience in today to give it a spin. Let us know what you think!

@__tosh @xeust Congrats on Surf! Great to see Deta bring its unique aesthetic to the world of browsers. How do you see Universal Chat scaling across file types? Also, could AI auto-organize "Stuff" for smarter workflows? Excited to try it!

@__tosh @tonyabracadabra thank you! Right now, chat supports web sites, PDFs, images and collections of these things, which we call "contexts". We want to add support for more -- anything you'd like to see? With regards to auto-organizing, you can already give a Context (like a folder) a prompt, and it will try and automatically fill itself

It is a decent app, congrats on launching it. It is not an OS, but a web app. Unless the "OS" is ran on their servers and sent to the client. Or being ran on a virtual machine with a .ICO file. Would recommend though

It's NOT an operating system. It's a website that can create windows inside a webpage and buttons. So far, it's a cute toy. It would be way cooler if it ran as a full-on program. I'll keep an eye on it.
